The Women strike IL Rich.

The American women were getting to
be a weak, used-up lot, and the young men
were getting TO the opinion that marriage
meant slavery without help. Plenty OF
toll for the wife and servant girl, and very
little pleasure in life for themselves. No
one could tell the cause. Every genera
lion grew weaker,-the children inheriting
the constitution of its parents. 1t all
seemed To be breakup of the nerve

Miss Minnie f. Folsom, a near relative Of Mrs.
Grover Cleveland, has become preceptresS of the
Brooklyn Agricultural College in Dakota.
1t is reported from Richmond, Va, that pious
Baptist of that city has rented her fine home and
moved into cheaper quarters that she thus might
be able TO give 81, eco year more to charity than
she otherwise could have done.
Mrs. ;. A. Crane, of 81. Joseph Mo- sat in her
window In the fourth story of her house the other
night in order to get a breath of fresh air. She
when picked up from the ground 20 feet below,
was found TO have sustained no more serious in
Jury than the breaking of one of her toes.
Mrs. Rose Terry Cooke says that if American
women wish to be healthy they must learn to live
in fresh air. She advises them to open their win
dOws wear flannel nightgowns. and take jug of
hot water TO bed if they cold but never to sleep
with closed windows air all their clothes and their
room daily, eat simple, wholesome food, wear
boneIess waists and button their skirts them,
and take the heels of their boots.
Mrs. Lena Hall, wrinkled, eOtfee-colOred
woman recently applied to the Health Commits
sioner of St. Louis for a burial permit. She said
that she was l07 years old, and could not live much
longer and wanted to make all the necessary
preparations for hes death while she was able. She
was much disgusted at being told that anti-mortem
burial certificates were never issued.
Celia Forblng, of kentOn, o., was walking

Harris and Adi't Charles A. Clark were the

the right and saw Capt Furlong's sword fash
as he jumped over into the midst of the foe.
The second time we jumped over the works l

pistol, but was swinging n musket around his
head, and his Lieutenant, Henry Waite, was
trying to get to his assistance.

but on visiting the spot the next morning
found pile Of slain, 10 or IL in number, all
killed with dubbed musket, which must have
been largely the work of the fallen Captain.
After the battle the living sought for the
dead and wounded of their respective COM
panies, and then for their friends in other COM
panies. There was no roll-eall nor any sleep
that night for the survivors Of the 9th Me. At
about midnight l found Capt. Furlong in q
farmhouse in the rear near the railroad, with
Chaplain Kelly at his side, and / never will
forget the comforting words of the good Chap
lain to the dying hero. We had been together
in many minor fights called skirmishes, and at
the storming of Marye's Hights, Fredericks-
burg May 3, 1868, but never saw fight so
savagely waged or so victorious for the weaker
side as that of Rappahannock Station, Nov. z,
1868.

one of the very few surviving heroes OF the 9th

DESTROYED TIE BRIDGE
A Cure for WhoOpInr Cough.
lFrom Notes and Queries. ]


Maryhill is a large and important suburb Of
Glasgow. On Thursday travelling candyman
and raggatherer, with q cart drawn by an ass,
drew up in front Of a row of houses known as
Pirrats-row, little of the highway at Maryhill,
Glasgow. Two children living in thisquarterare
suffering from whooping cough. After q short
conversation with the proprietor Of the ass, the
mothers Of the two children took up position
one on each side of the animal. One woman
then took one Of the children and passed il be-
low the ass's belly 10 the other woman, the
child's face being toward the ground. The
woman on the other side caught hold Of the
child, and, giving il gentle somersault, hand
cd IL back TO the other woman over the ass, the
child's face being turned toward the sky. The
process having been repeated three times, the
child was taken away 10 the house, and then
the second child was similarly treated. While
this was going on two other children were
brought TO undergo the magical cure In order
that the operation may have its due effect the
ass must not be forgotten aud at the close of the
ceremony each mother must carry her child 10
the head Of the animal and allow il 10 eat some
thing, such as bread or biscuits, out Of the
chiid's lap This proceeding having been per-
formed in turn by the four mothers, the pre-
scribed course was concluded. When it began
there was not many people present, but before
il was finished quite number of spectators had
gathered. From inquiries made yesterday
morning, and again last night, il seems the
mothers are thoroughly satisfied that their
children are the better Of the enchantment.

cannot tell. The spread of news did not have
so many facilities as now. Many caravans
were travelling through the country. There
was much commerce. The works of Christ
was startling and would occasion much talk
Nothing is more welcome than stories of mira
cles. Doubtless some Of his patients went
abroad, and such would tell everywhere about
the wonderful Parsonage of Galilee.
We have specifications Of the deeds per-
formed by Christ. He healed all manner Of
sickness and disease. 1t is thought scknesses
were fully settled disorders, acute and chronic,
while diseases were temporary malades. Tor
ments were torturesOme complaints, e. a.,
eholes, gouts, rheumatism, etc. Lunacy and
palsy are specified as among disorders cured by
Christ. He also expelled evil spirits from de-
mOaiaes
The Deeapolis Cv % was a confederation of
10 cities located mostly southeast of the Sea of
Galilee.
The following doctrines are taught:
1. Repentance is a condition in Christ's So
eiety-the Church. 1t is demanded by every
one who would become subject of this King
dom.
2. The ministry Of the Church should receive
special call to the Office.
g. Christ was divine, an inference from his
miracles
A. There are evil spirits, and they can possess
human beings causing various phenomena.
We notice some practical duties taught;
/. When Christ calls, follow him at once
2. Practice economy. Repair the old. (See
st. Marks account, 1 49,
3. Make Christ first. If needfuI forsake
everyone and everything for him. Here is a
missionary motto.
4. Do not fear (See account Of St. Iu., 5 10 J
